Hi All, another great song put up by someone where I've made some minor
corrections. When you're feeling confident the lead slide guitar is not to hard to
work out starting with Am and sus4 bending the second string up a note on the
third fret to start. Have a go it's a great tune.
(1)
AmGAm
I was sittin' beside the road in Black Jack County.
CEE7
not knowing that that the Sheriff paid a bounty,
AmGFEE7
for men like me that didn't have a penny to their name.
AmFGAm
So he locked my leg to 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chains.
(2)
AmGAm
And all we had to eat was bread and water,
CEE7
and each day we built the road a mile and a quarter,
AmGFEE7
a Black Snake Whip, would cut the back, of any man who complained,
AmFGAm
but we couldn't fight back wearing 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chains.
(3)
GAm
One night while the Sheriff was gently sleeping,
CEE7
we all gathered round him slowly creeping,
AmGFEE7
Heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain,
AmFGAm
when we beat him to death with 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chains.
(Lead slide if you're feeling brave)
AmGAm, CEE7, AmGFEE7, AmFGAm
(4)
AmGAm
now the whip marks are all healed and I'm thankful,
CEE7
there's nothing but the scar around my ankle.
AmGFEE7
but most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again,
AmFGAm
to a Black Snake Whip, and 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chain.
AmFGAm
to a Black Snake Whip, and 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chain.
